Journal Entry 1 by wingFeistyPom2Lovewing from Carpinteria, California USA on Wednesday, April 07, 2010

6 out of 10

The back cover of this nonfiction book states:

"The most hilarious, off-the-wall collection of the wildest, weirdest real book titles, subtitles, and author names ever complied!"

Also from the back cover:

"They say you can't judge a book by its cover- but its title can tell you MORE than you ever needed to know! Amazing, illuminating, and gut-bustingly funny, Bizarre Books is the wonderfully twisted product of more than two decades of determined searching in forgotten corners of out-of-the-way libraries and through the literary detritus of eclectic private collections. It is certain to delight every true fan of trivia and the patently absurd."

Although I found quite a bit of the information provided in this book to be funny and bizarre, some of it wasn't. Also, I thought it would have been more entertaining if this book had more excerpts from the titles listed.... I'd rather have less titles listed over all in this book as long as those listed had excerpts and/or commentary regarding each title.
